Abstract: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the Bit error rate performance by using Reed Solomon codes in the presence of noisy channel i.e. (Additive White Gaussian Noise. In this paper, (16, 32, 64) FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulation is used for simulation of coded communication system. For simulation, we use MATLAB/SIMULINK as a tool to calculate BER rate using Monte Carlo method. The forward error correction technique is used to detect and correct errors received from AWGN Noise channel. For encoding the received signal by removing burst errors or noise and improves the performance by using Reed Solomon codes. The results are plotted by using BERTOOL (Monte Carlo, Theoretical, and Semi-analytic) values can be evaluated at different parameters. At constant code rate and error correcting capability, BER increases as the code length increases. The Bit-Error-Rate performance improves as the redundancy increases is also observed. The properly chosen error-correction code can significantly improve the BER performance is the key observation of this simulation calculation.
